-
Clean Slate, a mixed bag of lovable characters and stale one-liners, captures the appeal of that optimism but suffers from its naïveté in an era very different from the 1970s.
-
The series is heartfelt, well-acted and has beautiful representations of the LGBTQIA+ community, specifically trans people. However, the comedy overall is rather middling and doesn’t quite jump off the screen.
-
It’s all perfectly nice, but at times the series veers so far from conflict that its characters feel thin and underdeveloped. Clean Slate has gone all in on feel-good, and the effect on the series as a whole is that it’s both happier and emptier as a result.
-
Clean Slate largely benefits from Cox's charisma. The actress also has incredible chemistry with her co-stars, particularly with the father-daughter duo played by Jay Wilkison and Norah Murphy. .... However, there are other aspects where the show falters more visibly, including its pacing and writing.
